Alias: Knostiis

Knostiis is a member of an as of yet undetermined species. He and his kind originate from a region which lies beyond the Crossroads of Infinity, on the other side of the Negative Zone. Called 'The Inverse,' this realm is a very unique plane which is governed by the False Positive Paradox.
Weaknesses:Most weaknesses are contained under powers and abilities. Outside of the influence of his home universe Knostiis is no longer on the scale of a cosmic being. Conceivably, if Knostiis was enclosed within a power field consisting of sufficient force could block off the influence of his home universe, thereby making Knostiis susceptible.
Personality:Regal, honorable, stubborn, serious
History:Knostiis comes from dimension which could be viewed as an opposite to that of the negative zone, the word "opposite" here does not necessarily denote a material relation or connection, as say, between the negative zone and the dimension of Earth 616 and others. Knostiis is the most recent of the untold scores of other arbitrators who have existed throughout time, perhaps even before time, as some have hypothesized. Within their own universe Knostiis and others like him are Cosmic beings of immense influence and power, their decision in all matters and judgments, are final and absolute. To the lesser beings of this dimension Knostiis would seem god-like, but here in the furthest reaches beyond the Crossroads of Infinity and of the negative zone, Knostiis' power is considerably far less (though not wholly unimpressive). The Inverse has experienced a period of great tranquility and ease, but there are still incalculable universes and dimensions in need of guidance and judgment. To this end Knostiis has come to join the Guardians of the Galaxy, having witnessed much hardships in this new universe. This was achieved by what Knostiis and his kind, affectionately refer to as "Portal Plugs" relatively small objects which resemble immense 'thumb tacks' which can literally be plugged into any dimensional barrier, allowing one to see through into the next universe or dimension, simply by gazing at the circular surface of the device. However, Beings with sensitive enough insights can detect their operation, which makes them particularly ill-suited for use when enemies are vigilant. Knostiis superpowers are drawn from the celestial stars of his own universe, as with all of his kind, but due to the great separation of distance his powers are weaker when in the present dimension (Earth 616).
Powers & Abilities:Through the ability of 'Superpower Shifting' Knostiis can change the location of a superpower in his body. This allows him to manipulate and transfer, for instance "Heat Vision" from the eyes to the index fingers to shoot heat beams out of them. Or compress Invulnerability to, let's say, a foot, so only the foot is invincible. In short, Knostiis is able to shoot his energy weapons from several parts of his body, including his 'Star Belt', chest, fingers or palms, and his feet for propulsion.
Superpower: Blast Vision
The ability to fire massive red-violet energy beams, a kind of 'Electrified Fire'. Description
The ability to fire strong, red-violet, energy beams which simultaneously electrifies and burns objects, or beings. Most effective when the object in question in closest, for it is at this point that the beam is the most concentrated. The further the beam travels its size and strength decrease.
The Good: Very powerful
The Bad:It is impossible to separate the lightning from the fire.
Superpower: Ultraviolet Light Absorption/Radiation Blast
The ability to absorb ultraviolet light and fire bolts or beams of ultraviolet energy The user is able to absorb ultraviolet energy given off by the sun. The user is then able to fire bolts or beams of ultraviolet energy from the ultraviolet light that has been absorbed. The ultraviolet light that has been absorbed must be released within 5 minutes or the ultraviolet energy that is stored in his body will start to break down and eventually destroy their body.
The good: Ultraviolet light is ever present due to the sun.
The bad: Once again, as a result of being far from his own dimension (who's sun is immensely more intense then in most other universes) this power (like all his powers and abilities) is diminished. Also, if there is no sun present (eg, within the negative zone, or similar dimension) these powers are nullified.
Will destroy the user's body if the energy is not released.
Note: The radiation will only effect the person it hits. The radiation will not affect, the user's allies as the user does not emanate radiation from his body unless he uses the power. However those who Knostiis wishes to be immune to the effects must be prepared by Knostiis beforehand.
(defensive only)
Ability: Safety Net
The ability to teleport to a random, safe location right before being killed This power acts as an automatic safety net for when Knostiis is about to die or be killed. Right before the moment of death, it will transport him to a random, immediately safe location. Though it could be as far as the other side of the galaxy. Knostiis cannot activate this power and he is unable to choose where to be transported to.
The good: Chances of being accidentally killed are greatly reduced
It happens automatically.
The bad: Can be transported to ANYWHERE, like Africa or even to a ship at sea
Might only transport to a few feet away, useless if the enemy happens to still be in close vicinity
